FOR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

RE: CBA RATES AND PROPOSAL PREPARATION

All CBA data that has been determined non-proprietary, and therefore releasable, has been provided to all interested parties via the FedBizOpps website in the form of the Excel spreadsheet posted on 14 Mar 07. Per the Department of Labor, the information required by law has been included in the RFP by attaching the CBA and the SCA wage determination. In addition, the scope of the work on the old contract is not reflective of the scope of work on the new contract. Other than the information provided above, the Government has released all information available. No further information regarding seniority is releasable. The Government additionally accepts that pricing is subject to change post award due to CBA negotiations and the personnel who are actually hired, versus the assumed demographic proposed by the Offerors. It has been determined that there is adequate information for Offerors to prepare proposals. How an Offeror chooses to use the data made available is a business decision that the Government cannot direct. Any further questions regarding this matter should be addressed to the Department of Labor.
